A landlord allows a business owner to have the sole occupation of the commercial property in return for rent payments. This contract is legally binding and is a commercial lease agreement. Once they sign a commercial lease agreement, parties must honour their obligations under the lease. However, this is not always a smooth process, and unfortunately, sometimes, <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/steps-lease-dispute\/\">lease disputes<\/a> can arise in a commercial lease. Where lease disputes occur, the parties must do their best to resolve them. This can sometimes result in legal action, which could incur damages. This article will explain all about damages when you try to resolve a commercial lease dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lease Dispute&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lease dispute can arise in a commercial lease at different stages of the commercial lease term. It could happen, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>soon after the commercial lease begins;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>several years into the lease, such as when a rent review is due;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when the tenant occupies the property beyond the lease term end date; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when the tenant falls into <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/rent-arrears-recovery\/\">rent arrears<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lease disputes can occur for a variety of reasons. Although, lease disputes generally occur when tenancy agreement provisions are ambiguous. Consequently, the landlord and tenant will likely disagree on each other\u2019s interpretation of the lease terms. For example, a lease dispute may arise in a commercial lease because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a tenant has rent arrears;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a party carries out the wrong procedure for an action in the lease;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the parties to a lease disagree on necessary repairs; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>where a tenant raises a query about service charges they refuse to pay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damages&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Damages are a legal remedy and apply to property law and other areas of law. A court orders a person to pay damages typically when this person has committed a wrong against another. Naturally, then, a court only awards damages after a court case. Damages serve to compensate the claimant (the person who suffers a wrong). The defendant (the person who has committed the wrong against the claimant) will be ordered to pay damages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold

One option to resolve this dispute is to raise it with the courts. Taking a lease dispute to court is an option both the landlord and tenant should view as a last resort. Often, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are more effective. For instance, a letter from one of the parties\u2019 solicitors will likely prompt the other party to act. Thereby removing the aggrieved party\u2019s need to rely on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are Damages?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Damages for a lease provide the wronged party with a redress mechanism. The wronged party can receive compensation for the loss they experienced due to the lease dispute. A cap on the damages a claimant can claim does not apply to certain lease disputes. For example, say that a claimant suffers losses due to a lease dispute where the landlord has failed to make necessary repairs to the property. In this situation, there is no cap on the amount of damages a claimant could claim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial tenants who incur costs due to the landlord\u2019s breach of the lease often find damages a suitable remedy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Losses could be in the form of, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>financial losses through business disruption;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>general enjoyment of the commercial premises; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any loss of use of the commercial rental property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do Damages Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Obtaining damages for a party\u2019s breach of the tenancy agreement is not a simple request. Instead, the party asserting they are owed damages needs to prove the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>that they did suffer a loss; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>their loss resulted from the other party in terms of the lease dispute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The link between the loss and fault of the other party to the lease must be clear. If it is too remote, the claim for damages will fail. Tenants who are awarded damages due to their landlord\u2019s breach of the lease agreement may receive damages through their rent. If your landlord agrees, you may not be obligated to pay rent until the full damages amount is paid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/04050959\/LegalVision-Landlords-Cheatsheet-for-UK-Leasing-Terms.jpg\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Cheatsheet for UK Leasing Terms<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>This cheatsheet includes practical tips to understand key clauses and avoid disputes in leasing agreements.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go.legalvision.co.uk\/cheatsheet-uk-leasing-terms.html\" class=\" block px-5 py-3.5 max-w-fit bg-orange button__hover transition rounded text-white font-bold text-lg no-underline uppercase leading-tight text-center\" target=\"\" rel=\"\">Download Now<\/a>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience a commercial lease dispute and take legal action, one possibility may be a <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/who-pays-dispute\/\">claim for damages<\/a>. You should be wary of court action, though, as it can be costly and time-consuming. Alternative dispute resolution avenues as such are more advisable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damages compensate the party who experiences losses due to the acts of the party to the dispute. Although, the claimant will need to prove two elements to the court\u2019s satisfaction. Firstly, the claimant must prove the loss took place. Secondly, the claimant\u2019s loss resulted from the lease dispute. Loss can include numerous things, such as disruption to business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help understanding damages as part of the resolution of a commercial lease dispute in a commercial lease, contact our experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/leasing-lawyers-lp\/\">leasing lawyers<\/a> as part of our LegalVision membership.
